CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 435

The chief Security Officer (CSO) has reported a rise in data loss but no break ins have occurred.
By doing which of the following is the CSO most likely to reduce the number of incidents?

Answer options

• A. Implement protected distribution
• B. Empty additional firewalls
• C. Conduct security awareness training
• D. Install perimeter barricades

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because security awareness training educates employees about potential threats and safe practices, thus reducing the risk of data loss. The other options, while related to security, do not directly address the human factor that often contributes to data breaches.
